In Milan, Italy, goalkeeper Maduka Okoye of the Super Eagles has been photographed with American rapper Cardi B, sparking widespread criticism from Nigerian fans and journalists. The situation comes as Okoye has missed the national team camp leading up to the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau.
Coach Eric Chelle had relied on Okoye as Nigeria’s first-choice goalkeeper during Stanley Nwabali's absence. Notably, Okoye participated in international friendly matches against Poland and Portugal in June and was anticipated to continue his role, considering his reliable performances for Udinese. While most of the squad was expected to arrive at the camp by Monday or Tuesday, Okoye remained absent.
Out of the 24 players invited by Chelle, 23 had reported by Tuesday and engaged in the initial training session in Ikot-Ekpene under his supervision.
